Treehouse Project ReviewerI'll try to help you with the first challenge, and after that, you can let me know if you need extra help.
The first question reads:
Initialize a new Random variable called randomGenerator using the Random() constructor.
You are given:
Random randomGenerator;
The code that you are given already is "defining" a new variable named randomGenerator and it is of type Random. They now want you to "initialize" it using the Random class' constructor (i.e. Random()). This means that you need to take your randomGenerator variable that is already defined, and set it equal to a new Random object.
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
This should successfully pass the code challenge. Doing this is one of the most basic and fundamental parts of Java. Defining and initializing variables. Take a look at Ben Jakubens blog posts regarding Java Basics.
